First off, let me explain, WHY I don't want the newer Windows Live!

I don't want it because it's bulky, it takes up too much CPU and freezes easily, and the msn on the left corner is USELESS and I don't need it! Let alone the fact that I can't even change my messenger name to what I want! I don't need internet friends to know my real name! And I don't want important people I email to know my internet pen name! So it'd be nice to be able to change your messenger name to what you want without it affecting your hotmail name!!!

Nobody I know likes it! Everyone complains about it! I really wish that people could be given to option to pick either a simple messenger or that complicated mess!!! That way everyone can be happy! (for whoever in their right mind actually likes the new version)

Anyway, I was happily using the 2009 version of windows live for over a month now and all of a sudden it's asking me to upgrade and won't even let me sign in! I do NOT want to upgrade! I will NEVER upgrade that that disgusting messenger! It has to be the most horrible version of messenger that was EVER created!

Everyone that I know asks me to remove it and install an older version, no one likes it! I've yet to find someone who actually enjoys it!

So yeah, I don't want to upgrade and would like to know if there's a way to stop it from forcing me to upgrade or if I'll have to find an even older version.
